Estranged, the story of a lone fisherman, stranded on a mysterious island during a violent storm.
Explore rich environments and meet the curious inhabitants of the island as you find a way back to the mainland.

New maps, new scenes, more graphical goodness, and a brand new musical score: Alpha 5 has seen a lot progress. We've done quite a lot of fixing and adding new content, and we’re saying "we" because Estranged is now being developed by 3 people.

We hope you have fun playing the new alpha! All feedback is welcome; you can help to shape the future of the game.

I have decided to hold back with the full Greenlight release, instead putting it up when it's more complete. With more people working on the game now, development should progress much faster. Watch this space!

Played a bit, the endless respawn on the zombies right after the tree house breaks the atmosphere as well as the lots of ammo you find there.
Also the ironsight animation didn't work, and after every time the game loads the next level my gun disappears for a random time.

I did only a quick look at it.
Maybe you could adapt the code from NmriH, with the reloading to show the ammo count, iron sights etc. That would be great.
And yeah maybe two zombies as a start as well as a single pistol ammo box, that should be enough for the player to kill both Z's and still have a mag or so left.

You dont always see your ammo count, but if you hold the reload key the player checks the ammo in his gun and his ammo avaible.
I'm finished with the rest of the alpha btw. The Cliffbunker could use some more deatils in terms of mapping. It just lokks like a bunch of square rooms with the same texture and no props here and there.
Also you should see to get some replacements for the standard HL²Models.

Look at this mod for some great HL² maps filled with gravel and details:Moddb.com

I could not get past the bridge that kept breaking, so I had to noclip. Everything else was amazing though, it always surprises me how polished your stuff is, the type of quality I wish I was able to do in my mod, mostly the cool ui features and shaders and custom settings menu. Hope to see this done someday. I think the next installment should focus on adding a lot more gameplay than cool features though so it doesn't get too bloated.

Always surprised at the original gameplay too though, the simple throwing a rock to get the crowbar, very cool.

If anyone is interested I did record and upload a video on youtube(link below this)...But this mod...I find it pretty amazing...I love the voice acting involved,animations,new animation sounds,etc...It kind of moved a little fast though....Over all it looks really great and I can't wait til the full release

You can just also go on youtube and search "estranged alpha 5" and it should pop up

This is what i think, like the music, sounds, new shaders, effects, lighting and **** but level design it's too much blocky, i can't find proper scale and textures is too big i dont know + lack of details in some places. i want to see final version. good luck guys!

It seemed pretty cool the only thing that seemed weird to me is that the bullets when shot looked like they would hit in a different area from the cross hairs when shooting the zombies and the bridge was a bit buggy. Other than that it was good.

Yeah sure. After I jumped the gap with the missing pieces of wood it just kept me there and wouldn't let me move so I fell and died. Also not sure if I didn't press the jump button in time or what but the second time I tried running then jumping the gap but just fell in. So I just kept jumping and made it across.

Sure. You can private message me, use my website's contact form on Alan.edward.es , the forum (although not many people have), or leave a comment. Private message on ModDB is the easiest. I'd love to hear from you!

Can't wait for full version. Every aspect of this mod is great, but for me there is too many first aid kits. Zombies are very easy, they have regular speed and damage (like in other mods). I found it easy to find them.
